Put a test spring on the intake and the exhaust and
test your own set up... use a dial indicator and at full
lift push down on the rocker and measure the distance

Wow what a jerk of response! I doubt you will get any info or a response from anyone else on this board. Mike is very well thought of by everyone on here.

Maybe you should borrow the tools to do so , unless someone has your exact combination with everything machined exactly the same it's a guess at best and I would NOT trust a guess .

How was that for less than nothing ?

Yep the only way you'll know for sure is to use checker springs and a degree wheel and a dial indicator. Moving the installed centerline shifts your P/V clearance also. Anyone can tell you sure it will fit, but without checking it correctly you could eaily loose a motor or extensively damage it. If you can't do it yourself find a friend or a shop that can. Dave

Anyone run into issues with the cam in @ 102-104?




are you running this cam now ? if so what is it in at and what is your current piston to valve clearance?

The only cliques are those that people create for themselves.

Well I have very close to the same combo..But not sure I want to tell you anything !!....gezz man chill out.. Now I have a lot of valve to piston clearnce.. same cam- flat top pistons. 0 deck- stock crank-stock length rods- 1.5 rockers. over .150 on both intake and exhaust . But you really should not take anyone word on this.. bad things can and will happen if it is not right..I would have to look and see what size my relieves are.cam is in at 101. heads are 72cc.

John...I've seen similar questions by different posters that have been asked on this board before, not necessarily mine fwiw...and it's amazing the difference in responses given depending on who posted the question. Is what it is.

I completely understand the "correct" way, is to measure it and again I understand the catastrophic consequences if I get it wrong.

Currently running the MP557...no idea on where I'm at, again don't have the tools to check it. Been running now 2 years...a friend has offered a nib 590 he's never ran, thought maybe I would give it a shot. Cam has been around what 30+ years, and I'm guessing someone at one time has tried running it in a zero deck motor, if it worked with a old TRW 6 pak piston, I would think it should be ok with mine...might be I'm wrong, don't know.

I've actually met Mike in the pits a few years back, seemed like a nice enough guy...my apologies to him for being so curt...

I'm not as knowledgable as Mike or some of the others on here but i used to run a .670 roller 280 at .050 dur with 6 pack pistons, 76 cc RPM's snd steel shim head gaskets and they cleared fine.
I run the .590 with the same heads now but with dome pistons and felpros. I clayed the pistons on both.
BTW, love your 66 Fury, you see very few 65-6 at the strip. I used to have a 66 Fury 111 with a 383.
